NOTE:
• Before working with coolant, read
cautions on the coolant container
and instructions in this section.
• A 50% mixture will protect the cool-
ing system from freezing at tempera-
tures above –24°F (–31°C). If the
motorcycle is to be exposed to tem-
perature below –24°F (–31°C), this
mixing ratio should be increased up
to 55% (–40°F/–40°C) or 60% (–
67°F/–55°C) coolant. The mixing
ratio should not exceed 60% cool-
ant.
